Oh yeah! The feeling's so great once you get to finish elementary course. It's just amazing that I was able to survive the intensity of grade 7. Although it was really terror year for me, I still enjoyed it. I mean, why not.. it's the last year of elementary anyway.

During the program, I can't help but reminisce. I wasn't really prepared to let go and move on to another chapter of my life-- High School. Why? Simply it seems scarier than elementary, scarier than grade 7 probably. Right now, I believe I'm so not ready for High School. I need time to adjust to new situations, I guess. Moving on would require much more than what one expects. Moving on would require you to leave everything and just pretend these things never really happened. I know, memories do last but they'll only remain remembered.. you can never put them back again.

Anyway, the program went on smoothly. I was able to take part in the mass. *wide smile* Took part in the offertory (with the `rents of course). That time, mom was holding me tightly and she was whispering to me "What if nahulog yung fruits natin? Would you run after them?" Instantly, the thought of pears and apples rolling on the floor popped in my mind. So what happened? I started to giggle. Sobra. Fortunately, I was able to control it. Good thing. Ha!

Afterwards, we had the real graduation ceremony. Ang tagal-- that's all I can say. I waited for a while to get a grip of my diplomat. First thing that crossed my mind? "Thank God, tapos na rin!" The feeling's just great. So great. Atleast now, I've finished my elementary course.. High School and College nalang and I'm off on my own. Oh life.. sweet life.. you're going to be mine real soon.
When the distribution of diplomats were finished, they proceeded on to giving the Academic and Special Awards. Surprisingly, I got Academic Honors. It was shocking for me since I didn't really expect it. Yeah, because of HELE. But, atleast, it's good to know that I don't have any failing grade so I shouldn't get nervous when Report Card Day comes.

Graduation was quick. After all these practices, a 4-hour (I guess) program resulted. Wow. Now is the time to perfectly say, Hello High School. I didn't really feel the graduation spirit at first, but I got the hang of it as the program went on. I just couldn't believe that grade school has passed already. It's just part of the history of my life, I guess. Honestly, it has been a great journey all along. I've learned to travel with the ups and downs of life. It was so fun. I loved it.

So, to my friends out there..

Thanks a lot. I'll miss you guys. See you next schoolyear.
